And if it’s harvest and harvest festival time - it must be time to book for the Littleport Christmas Panto.
This year’s presentation for all ages, by the talented Littleport Players, with superb costumes by Sheila Goodall, is Peter Pan.
There are four shows in December: Friday 8 and Saturday 9 in the evening, and two matinees, on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
And you can book online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/littleportplayers or get tickets from Bizzie Lizzie hairdressers on Ponts Hill, or the Bargain Centre in Main Street.

Although Christmas should be especially nice for children, I’d say any time of the year is good to be a child in this village, whether pre-school or school age.
At St George’s there’s a ‘Tea and Tots’ with toys and nursery rhymes for babies and toddlers every Friday morning from 10-11.30am run by Chris and Keith, and Chris provides homemade cakes too.
